Composition Forum seeks a Book Review Editor to replace the outgoing editor. This editor will be responsible for gathering reviews on books of interest to scholars and practitioners within the field. Editor’s duties will be soliciting reviews, offering editorial feedback to authors, and helping to format reviews for both annual issues. Duties also include maintaining contact with publishers to receive new titles, and ensuring that review authors receive copies of reviewed texts. In the future Composition Forum wishes to review as many new titles as possible within the field and further expand the number of review essays.

As part of our ongoing efforts to make Composition Forum more findable, we’ve added the journal to the WAC Clearinghouse Database and checked all similar directories we use to ensure Composition Forum has an entry. If you know of a similar site which should list CF, let us know!
